Duran Duran Tour History – Hazel O’Connor

This week, in the continuing series about Duran Duran tour history and their fans’ participation in various tours, I am asking about the Hazel O’Connor Megahype Tour in which Duran Duran was the support band.  This tour took place between November 14, 1980 and January 4, 1981 in the UK, Ireland and Scotland.  As always, I refer you to the band’s official website for all the specific dates and locations, which you can see here.

Once upon a time, there were two Duran Duran fans. One named Amanda, the other named Rhonda. Over many vodka tonics, they would laugh about the idea of one day writing a book about their fan experiences. While that manuscript is still being composed...Rhonda thought they should write a blog. (What was she THINKING?!) Lo and behold: The Daily Duranie was born.
